Svantaggi
I've sat by or for a few years and when I left Edge it was on good terms. Finally, after seeing much of what Edge really is I feel like any potential employee of Edge needs to know what they are getting into. Quick Facts: -Edge will not pay you as much as another door to door company. (They will try to say they have a higher contract value and you'll get paid more but it's NOT the case. Just talk to Aptive, or any other pest control D2D.) -Time off is almost non-existant -Edge has proven consistantly that they cannot sell as much as other door to door companies -Edge tries to have you sell 2 year contracts but only pays you pennies on the dollar for the 2nd year. The Long Story: When I started at Edge they reeled me in by saying they cared about me and that they weren't like the other Door to Door companies. I believed them because I could feel something different. Then after a while, it was time to stop selling for them. That is when the truth of what Edge is came to light. After leaving I talked to others in the industry. I found out quickly that Edge consistently underperforms for the Industry by a lot. I realized that Edge wasn't as high as they made themselves seem. I also realized they used the pretense of "Lift and Bless" to manipulate me and pay me a much lower amount than I was worth. I realized that compensation wise they try to get you to sell for a cheap percentage of your accounts usually 25%-35% to start. Most companies will pay you 35%-40% if you ask, not based off of how many you sell. The real kicker however was hearing Edge always talk about Lifting and Blessing others. They say "We do this so we can help others grow." Who are those others?Usually, people who slave their lives with Edge. Edge tries to get you to a point where you recruit 2,000 accounts with them. That is when they will give you a "blessed" opportunity. When you recruit 2,000 accounts between you and your team you are honored to have a sliver of the branch you created. I am talking usually less than 10%. They say they want to lift and bless others lives but only pay their HIGH Performers less than 10% of what they work for? That's not a company that is trying to lift and bless. That is a company that has no other goal than to use good principles, twist them and trick people into doing what they want for a cheap price. Just an FYI, usually those 2,000 accounts equates to over $1,000,000 in contracted Revenue. If you were an owner and slaved to create that and you only had 7%, that's only $70,000 that goes into your pocket for all the work YOU did. Never have I ran into a company that is so twisted in the way they strive to grow than with Edge. The truth is they don't care about you. Not really. They care about you producing. They care about taking most of what you produce away from you and only rewarding you with a small piece of it and that is if you are perfect. If you are anything less, they will take it from you! That's not all, however. Probably the worst thing about Edge is that if you open your eyes and realize how manipulative they are, and choose to leave. They will usually sue you. This only happens if you are in a higher position and they stand to lose a lot but as soon as you try to take your future into your own hands they say: 1) You aren't' a man of your word, 2) You will miss out on a great opportunity 3) They sue you so as hinder your progress in pursuit of your own happiness. Does that sound like a company that lifts and blesses? No. There are only a few people I know that still work at Edge when I worked there. If it was really a company worth working for, they would have a lot more people still around. I really wish this wasn't the case but Edge is nothing but manipulative liars that use good principles to sway others into doing what they want. The worst part about it, is I think the owners have bought into their own lies. They actually think they are helping people.
